Frequently Asked Questions

In the working commercial port, stacked with containers and logs. You cannot wander it freely: shuttles carry passengers from the berth to the town centre in a few minutes.
Because an earthquake levelled it in two and a half minutes on 3 February 1931. It was rebuilt in one sweep, entirely redrawn in the style of its day — which makes it one of the most consistent Art Deco ensembles anywhere.
The Art Deco quarter on foot — Emerson, Tennyson and Hastings Street — the Marine Parade promenade, and the MTG museum with its earthquake exhibition. The heart of town fits within a fifteen-minute walking radius.
Yes, completely, once the shuttle has dropped you off. The Hawke's Bay climate, among the sunniest in the country, generally favours walkers.

A facade in the Ahuriri district near the old fishing harbour, whose doorway framed in carved roses is often called the most photographed in the country. Worth the detour if you go that far.

The seafront promenade, with its Norfolk pines, terraced gardens and illuminated fountain. The statue of Pania of the Reef, a figure from local Māori legend, is the photographic star.
